Restorative Methods:
EPSOM SALT BATHS
Epsom salt is also known as magnesium sulphate. Our first restorative technique consists of bathing for 10 to 20 minutes in a warm/hot bath to which 200-400 grams of Epsom salt is added.
CONTRAST BATHS/SHOWERS
1) After a high intensity workout (strength or speed-strength work), alternate between 30 seconds of cool water (but not too cold) and two minutes of hot water.
2) After a high volume workout (hypertrophy or strength-endurance work), alternate between 30 seconds of cold (as cold as you can stand) and two minutes of warm water
GLYCOGEN/PROTEIN RESYNTHESIS DRINKS AND FOOD
An ideal post-workout formula would include fast-absorbing proteins, high glycemic carbs, and some additional BCAAs (which have been shown to drastically increase protein synthesis and decrease protein breakdown on their own).
MASSAGE/NORMATEC
massages can increase lymph circulation and can reduce inflammation (especially deep tissue massage).
SAUNA
Saunas enhance circulation to the surface of the skin, this encourages the body’s natural detoxification process and oxidative by-products and toxins are released through the sweat. Aiding the body’s natural detoxification process further helps to counteract the oxidant by-products of strenuous exercise, enhancing the benefits and aiding overall recovery.
